Pre-summer Ramblings

I'm glad that it's finally starting to stay nice outside. I got to use my grill on Saturday. I love the smell of meat cooking over open flames. No gas grills either. Nope, gotta go with the charcoal. Maybe a little hickory chips sometimes. I think using gas takes all the fun and skill out of grilling. I mean what's the point if you can set your grill to exactly 375 degrees? If you're gonna do that you might as well go and stand in front of your stove, or maybe just microwave something. It's relaxing for me, I just get to sit back and listen to the meat sizzle. Hanging out in the back yard, sitting in the sun, not being at work.

I like it where the weather starts getting nice. Everyone in town starts bringing their cars out of hiding. Some of them really kickass, some look like they've had there asses kicked, and every once in awhile you see something unique. Something outta the norm. Something that isn't a late 60's camaro with a small block chevy or mustang with a 5.0 liter. Today I saw and nice lookin' Willy's sitting in a parking lot on the way home from the movies. A couple minutes later I saw a mid 80's s-10 done up all pro-street. No hood, big-as-shit supercharger sticking up in front of the windsheild, and a pair of the biggest tires I've seen in awhile tucked under the ass end. These tires had to be at least 18 or 20 inches wide. It looked kinda rednecky , but mean at the same time. A few years ago I had the fortune of running into a guy with a Henry J. It was cool, I had never actually seen one in person before. Very impressive. I've even seen a couple of old hotrods this year. One was driven by a guy who had to be in his 70's. Nothing real fancy or shiny, but a more bare-bones approach.

Seeing all this makes me wish I had my other truck here to work on from time to time. Something that isn't my current means of transport for work. It's hard as hell to work on something where it has to be operational in the next 24 hours. Kinda takes all the fun out of it. Too much added pressure and stress. I got enough stress at work. I like to take my time and do shit right. Instead of getting rushed and making simple mistakes that cause bigger problems and bigger headaches later on. If you need instant gradification that bad, maybe it's time to mow the lawn or do some dishes. All I need to do now is figure out how to squeeze 26 or 28 hours into a day.No more 24 hours days. That would give me enough time to get a few extra things done. That would make things alot simpler. Well, for me at least, everybody else would just have to deal with it. It wouldn't be that bad, it would be like when they set the clocks ahead and we get screwed out of an hours sleep. And tell me, how kick ass would it be to have a clock with a big number 13 on the top. Damn, this is some good shit. I'll have to remember this when I run for president. President of the World!

Now take your pants off. Everything is happier when your not wearing pants. Trust me on this baby, I know what I am talking about.


So does this mean I get to be your Vice President, or just your Suckretary under your desk?
